Australian PM: Human remains still at MH17 crash site
Human remains are left at the site of Malaysian Airlines MH17 flight crash in eastern Ukraine, said today Australia's Prime Minister, Toni Abbot.
"Yesterday Australian officials again had access to the sites," Abbott said.
"Plainly there are unrecovered body remains in the area. And it's the presence of unrecovered remains that makes it more important than ever that an international team be dispatched to the site."
Questioned on concerns about sending troops into Ukraine, Abbott stressed that Australia's involvement in the planned mission was only to secure the remains and help the investigation.
"It is, I stress, a humanitarian mission. Others can get involved if they wish in the politics of Eastern Europe, our sole concern is to claim our dead and to bring them home," he said.
